| transport host | An intermediate host in which no development of the parasite occurs, although its presence may be required as an essential link in the completion of the parasite's life cycle; e.g., the successive fish host's that carry the plerocercoid of Diphyllobothrium latum, the broad fish tapeworm, to larger food fish eventually eaten by man or other final host's. Synonym: transport host. (05 Mar 2000) |

| transport medium | A medium for transporting clinical specimens to the laboratory for examination. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transport number | The fraction of the total current carried through a solution by a particular type of ion present in that solution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transport protein | <protein> A class of transmembrane protein that allows substances to cross plasma membranes far faster than would be possible by diffusion alone. A major class of transport proteins expend energy to move substances (active transport), these are transport ATPases. See: facilitated diffusion, symport, antiport. (18 Nov 1997) |
| transport tetany | An acute disease seen in cattle and sheep during and shortly after shipping; it appears most often in females in advanced pregnancy and is believed to be precipitated by stress, lack of food and water, and perhaps heat. Synonym: railroad disease, railroad sickness. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transport vesicle | <cell biology> Vesicles that transfer material from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the receiving face of the Golgi. (18 Nov 1997) |
| facilitated transport | The protein-mediated transport of a compound across a biomembrane that is not ion-driven; a saturable transport system. Synonym: passive transport. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antihemophilic plasma | Human plasma in which the labile antihemophilic globulin component, present in fresh plasma, has been preserved; it is used to temporarily relieve dysfunction of the haemostatic mechanism in haemophilia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| beam-plasma reaction | <radiobiology> Fusion reaction which occurs from the collision of a fast beam ion with a thermal plasma ion. (09 Oct 1997) |
| bean-shaped plasma | <radiobiology> A toroidal plasma indented on the inboard side (the side with the donut hole), that results in additional stability to ballooning modes. Moderate indentation may provide access to the second-stability region (high beta). (13 Nov 1997) |
| blood plasma | <haematology> Acellular fluid in which blood cells are suspended. Serum obtained by defibrinating plasma (plasma derived serum) lacks platelet released factors and is less suitable to support the growth of cells in culture. (13 Oct 1997) |
| blood plasma fractions | Portions of the blood plasma as separated by electrophoresis or other technique. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rapid plasma reagin | <investigation> The rapid plasma reagin test is similar to the VDRL test for diagnosing syphilis. This blood test is designed to detect an antibody substance in the bloodstream when syphilis infection is present. Early syphilis infections may be RPR negative. See: VDRL (17 Dec 1997) |
| rapid plasma reagin test | A group of serologic test's for syphilis in which unheated serum or plasma is reacted with a standard test antigen containing charcoal particles; positive test's yield a flocculation. A modification, called the RPR (circle) card test, is widely used as a screening test. Synonym: RPR test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal plasma flow | <physiology> The amount of plasma that perfuses the kidneys per unit time, approximately 10% greater than effective renal plasma flow. It should be differentiated from the renal blood flow which refers to the total volume of blood flowing through the renal vasculature, while the renal plasma flow refers to the rate of plasma flow.
